Party – Part 1
There will be two parts to the party :D
"Clooooud – why have you backed out on me?"
The blonde let out a loud and excruciating sigh.
Does Nathan ever stop whinging?
"Because someone else invited me," he said for the millionth time, clumsily doing up his awkward shirt buttons. "Gaia... why is this so difficult to do?"
Nathan snickered. "Can't even do up your blouse, lover?"
Wish he'd stop calling me that!
Cloud scowled up at him. "I'm getting there!"
"Looks like it too," Nathan said sarcastically, stepping smugly towards his fumbling friend. "Here, let me do it. We'll be here till Christmas otherwise."
The blondie violently shook his head. "No way – I am going to do this myself."
"It's not a work mission," Nathan smirked, standing back to admire Cloud's clumsy attempts.
"No, but you'll get ideas!" the blonde pointed out, finally buttoning up the top of his shirt.
Can't believe how long that took me!
Nathan had to agree. "Probably – but you'd love it."
"No, I wouldn't."
Only want Zack to get excited over me...
"Anyway!" Nathan exclaimed, desperate to try and keep the blonde from sulking. "Who's taking you then? Is it your new lover? Will this be some sort of romantic thing?"
Cloud shot him a mischievous look. "What if it is?"
Nathan immediately piped up. "Really? Awesome! Are they picking you up from here?"
No, thankfully...
The blonde shook his head. "Nope – I'm going to theirs."
"Could at least tell me her name!" Nathan whined, pleading desperately with his taunting friend. "Come on Cloud – I won't tell anyone! Pleaaase!"
"No!" the blonde snapped, heaving the grumbling man off of his arm. "You can't keep quiet."
"Yes I can!" Nathan gasped, insulted by his friends clear lack of trust. "Don't be silly!"
Whatever...
-Ding Dong-
"Huh?" Cloud said confusedly, gawping in unison with Nathan at the beckoning door.
"Who the hell would that be?" Nathan whispered, looking clearly as bewildered as the blonde.
Cloud walked cautiously towards the ringing door. "Maybe it's mark?"
Nathan shrugged. "Maybe..."
The blonde slowly opened up the rattling front door and gaped at the sight lay before him.
Zack!
"Hey Chocobo!" the Soldier beamed, thrusting out a bouquet for the blonde. "Ready to go?"
Cloud was frozen. "Zack... I thought I was... You weren't..."
"Sorry Chocobo," the Soldier interrupted, clumsily holding out the colourful bunch of flowers. "Wanted to surprise you."
"... This is certainly a surprise."
Why is Cloud being so distant?
That's when Zack realised.
They had company.
Nathan hesitantly appeared behind the gawping blonde, wearing the most astounded expression that Zack had ever seen. He couldn't believe what was happening. He couldn't accept this as reality. Was this...Could they... Was Lieutenant Fair really Cloud's date? Or had there been a mix up of some sort?
Zack's heart momentarily stopped as he began to fully understand why Cloud had responded so coldly. He had not been alone... Nathan had been getting ready with him.
"Shit..." he said, bowing his head down to the floor in disgrace. "Sorry, Chocobo..."
Nathan interrupted the apology. "Is this... Is he really -"
"Shut up Nathan!" Cloud snapped, throwing the man the man an irritated yet fearful look.
That definitely confirms it...
"Well Cloud," Zack said, dropping the bouquet onto the floor and stepping towards the staggered blonde. "Guess there's no need for me to hold back now."
"Hold back for wha -"
Zack didn't let him finish.
Without any care for the presence behind them, or for the blonde's obvious embarrassment, Zack bent down courageously and forced his lips softly onto Cloud's. The blonde's eyes widened to begin with, taken aback by the Soldier's lack of tactic, before realising that he in fact shouldn't care. Nathan had obviously figured it out already – so what did it matter?
Might as well give him a show!
Cloud threw his hands into the Soldier's gel-stiffened hair and Zack followed suit. The previous gap between then was erased and instead replaced with the pairs clashing lips. Zack found himself unconsciously moaning into the blonde's open mouth, which made the already worked up Cloud even more lustful. In response, he drew out from the heated kiss and nibbled teasingly at the Soldier's lips. The grip in his hair tightened instantly and the moan escaping Zack's mouth grew louder.
Once satisfied with his response, Cloud delved back into the Soldier's willing mouth and continued to wrestle with the man. Zack immediately regained equal position with the blonde and began paying him back with equivalent attention.
After a few heated seconds, the blonde slowly and carefully rolled his tongue out, requesting access from the flustered Soldier, before being consumed himself by Zack's own mouth muscle. Damn - why was his body already reacting so crazily?
He let out a loud and lustful moan as Zack skilfully wound his tongue into his mouth and allowed it to dance freely with his own. The blonde began releasing equally embarrassing noises that he was unable to contain, as the attention from Zack started sending his willpower over the edge. How he wished they could go further...
Cloud tightened his grip on the Soldier's hair and Zack raised the level of roughness. This was no longer a passionate embrace... it was a lustful and animalistic one; with the pair of them fighting for power.
Best... greeting... EVER.
Nathan simply gawped at the overexcited pair, unable to peel his eyes off the marvellous sight. He wasn't supposed to enjoying this, was he? Wasn't it more sensible... and not to mention more straight... to turn away? But he couldn't. His body refused to move.
That is so... mhmph... hot...
They were letting out the sexiest sounds he had ever heard...
He was desperate to join in.
The pair, after a few frantic minutes of action, finally separated and allowed themselves access to air. They had gotten much more caught in the moment than originally intended...
"I missed you," Zack panted, grinning down at the breathless Cloud.
The blonde shot him a teasing look. "It's only been a day."
Zack bent down towards the man's ear and whispered huskily to him. "Far too long."
Shivers shot up Cloud's spine.
How can he have that effect on me so easily?
"Hey!" Nathan said, finally regaining control of himself. "I'm still here you know."
The pair turned amusedly to the flustered man, who up until now, they had completely forgotten about. He was frowning, but... He didn't look annoyed. The kid seemed more... baffled.
"Bless him," Zack cooed, urging himself to ruffle the poor boys hair.
Cloud giggled.
Nathan frowned.
"Oh yeah!" the blonde remembered, bending down to the floor and picking up the discarded bouquet. "Sorry about not taking them, was a bit distracted, but... thank you."
Zack grinned down at the blushing Cloud. "No problem kiddo."
So... darn... cute!
"Anyway!" Zack exclaimed, wrapping his hand around Cloud's trembling one. "I'll be stealing him away from you now Nathan – you take care!"
With that, he began pulling Cloud out the door.
Take care...?
"And don't tell anyone what you just saw!" Cloud called back him.
Like I really would, lover...
Nathan shook his head, disappointed with himself.
Can't believe I just stood there and enjoyed that...

Reno stared impassively at his flashing mobile.
Who the hell could be callin me?
With the little energy and willpower he'd somehow managed to gain, the redhead stiffly reached out towards his bedside table and retrieved his noisy phone. Then, without even bothering to check the name or number, he flipped the mobile open huffily and greeted the caller with a loud grunt.
"Nice to hear your angelic voice!" was their reply.
Zack!
"Yo man!" Reno said, pleased to hear a familiar voice. "What's up?"
The redhead could make out another voice in the distance.
Is he with someone?
"Yes Cloud," he heard the Soldier whisper. "It's Reno."
Ah, so he's with blondie tonight...
"What did you call for, yo?" Reno grunted, staring dumbly at his blinding alarm clock. "It's like 9pm. Way past my bedtime. Best have a damn good reason for disturbing me."
Zack laughed at him. "Don't be such a baby! There's a party tonight!"
Could swear that I just heard blondie groan...
"Not in the mood for a party," Reno yawned, already desperate to doze back off to sleep. "Go without me, yo. I'm sure you and blondie will have fun – if ya get my drift."
Zack didn't find the joke quite so amusing. "Hilarious, buddy."
I certainly thought so!
"Why d'you want me to go anyway?" Reno asked, forcing himself into a sitting position. "I'm really not up for a threesome tonight, if that's what you're offering."
Cloud cut in. "Did he just say -"
"Ignore the comments," Zack sighed, desperate to keep the blonde from questioning him. "He's only saying that because he himself can't get any - Reno... you coming or not?"
Reno began massaging pounding head. "Not sure, yo."
"I can help you pick someone up?" Zack offered, knowing full well that this would convince the Turk. "You're always moaning that you won't get some. So, let's change that. It'll help you move on from... him too. I know you're desperate to get with him, but... it's a bad move."
"Yo, if I find someone else, I'll probably get bored of the guy," Reno lied, eager to satisfy his overly concerned friend.
"Good!" Zack said, taking that as acceptance. "See you later then."
"But I don't know if –"
However, it was too late to protest.
Zack had hung up on him.
"Damnit," Reno hissed, hauling himself out of the warm and comforting bed.
Did he really want to go?
Not exactly.
But...
It was better than being cooped up in his house.
Besides, it was a pretty genius idea that Zack had suggested. What if he were able to find someone else? That might make Sephiroth undeniably jealous to the point where he had to admit his feelings towards Reno! That is... If he had any feelings.
"I don't know how to act around you."
He still couldn't get his head round the fact that Sephiroth had said that.
Did it really mean something, though?
"Rah!" he cried, flinging himself towards his beckoning wardrobe. "What to wear?"
He needed to look good if he was going to try and pull someone!
Mission: Make the ice king jealous!
Start!

Zack and Cloud at long last arrived at the party entrance.
"By the way..." the blonde suddenly said, staring down at the floor with embarrassed eyes. "I've never erm, drunk properly like this before. Just so you know."
Gaia, he's adorable.
"Don't worry!" Zack grinned, finally releasing his tight grip on the blonde. "I'll make sure that you don't get too drunk. I'll be like a doting mother – alright, Chocobo?"
Cloud didn't look amused. "Just tell me if I'm embarrassing myself, okay?"
Or, if like me, he gets extremely horny with alcohol...
"Shall do!" Zack said, swinging the doors open with clear anticipation. "Let's mosey!"
The pair of them strolled energetically into the crammed room, waving friendlily at familiar faces as they went. They both looked so confident together. Zack's enthusiasm was entirely genuine and came naturally. However, the blonde's attitude was slightly feigned, concealing the fact that he was extremely nervous. Although, unbeknown to him, he didn't look worried in the slightest. But... He was not used to these type of environments – would he cope with it all?
"Dara!" Zack cried, waving frantically over to a figure in the distance. "Over here!"
The woman's face immediately lit up. "Zack Fair! You came!"
Who in Gaia's name is that?
Zack, without warning, grasped the blonde's shaking hands and hauled him towards the smiling girl. Cloud's heart began hammering painfully against his chest. Who was this stranger?
The pair of them finally reached her.
"This is Cloud," Zack beamed, releasing the blonde's aching hands. "Cute, isn't he?"
Cloud scowled at him. "I'm not -"
"Cute?" Dara said, ultimately finishing the blonde's sentence. "I'd say he's more handsome than cute. Men shouldn't be called cute. Good job anyway, Zack Fair."
Might actually be able to get along with this girl...
"But Chocobo's adorable!" Zack whined, digging himself an even deeper hole.
Cloud playfully punched the Soldier. "I'll give you adorable."
With that, he stuck his tongue out at the man.
It doesn't bother me as much as I let on...
"Please do," Zack growled, causing Cloud's stomach to somersault once more.
"Zack!" he cried, disgusted yet, at the same time, thrilled by the man's comment. "Not in front of -"
"Me?" Dara interrupted. "Don't worry, it doesn't bother me. It's actually very cute."
Still feel weird about it though...
"See Chocobo?" Zack said smugly, shooting Cloud a victorious look.
The blonde pouted.
Although I'd never admit it, I like Zack when he's cocky.
"I'm going to get a drink!" Dara declared, once again interrupting the pair's moment together. "Anyone want one?"
"Two beers," Zack said gratefully, shooting Cloud a questioning look. "If that's okay?"
The blonde shrugged. "Whatever suits you."
Hate the taste of beer...
Dara joyfully departed from the pair, her movements closely monitored by the curious Cloud. She seemed so happy... Almost too happy. Something was off.
He forced himself to turn his attention back to Zack, worried in case the Soldier had caught him nosily observing his friend. However, much to Cloud's relief, the man had not been paying any attention and was lost in his own little world. Zack was completely zonked out... Staring directly at Cloud...
Wait a minute.
Was Zack... checking Cloud out?
The Soldier finally snapped out of it and noticed the blonde staring questioningly at him. Zack tried to shoot his eyes away and cover it up, but it was too late – the blonde had noticed. Was he really checking him out without realising it...? Did Zack really find him that gorgeous? He didn't understand it. Zack, in Cloud's eyes, could do so much better than him...
Zack noticed the blonde deep in thought. "You alright, Cloud?"
He immediately came back to life. "Yes, I'm fine!"
Hmm...
The Soldier took a step towards him. "Guess what, Cloud?"
"What?" the blonde gulped, his heart rate increasing as the man edged closer.
Zack pushed his body against Cloud's weaker once, backing him up until he had the guy pinned to the wall. The blonde yet out a loud yelp as he felt the strong hands of the Soldier grip his wrists, holding them firmly to his sides. Zack was staring so deeply into him... He almost had to look away from that strong gaze.
"What if someone sees?" Cloud gasped. "What if -"
Zack didn't care about that, however.
He was too distracted by the appealing man stood before him.
"Cloud..." he whispered, lowering his mouth towards the blonde's ear. "Guess what."
I can hardly stand!
"What?" the blonde gulped, shuddering as the Soldier breathed roughly into his ear.
"I..." Zack said hoarsely, positioning his hand on Cloud's crotch.
The blonde gasped at the sudden wave of pleasure. "Y-you..."
"Tonight," the Soldier growled, teasingly running his hand across the blonde's growing bulge. "I am going to fuck you, Cloud. Tonight."
The blonde moaned loudly at the thought.
"When I'm finished," Zack said, rolling his tongue gently across the man's ear. "You won't be able to walk. The imprint will be left in you so long, that you'll never forget."
How could I ever forget anyway?
"I am really going to make a mess of you, Cloud."
Going to make a mess of me...
"Just you wait."

Party tonight – anyone and everyone is welcome!
Sephiroth could not believe that he was even considering this...
He didn't do parties. They bored him.
So... why was he still staring blankly at this email, after two painful hours?
Should be disappointed in yourself.
Was he really going to allow himself to join this ridiculous gathering?
Nobody he even knew would be going...
Well, not anyone he could actually hold a conversation with...
Reno will likely be going.
The general shot up in his chair.
What did that matter?
Why should he care that the moronic redhead would be attending?
He didn't!
... Did he?
"Look at yourself," Sephiroth said, shaking his head at the sheer absurdity of it all. "Getting all excited over an idiotic Turk. Have your standards really stooped that low?"
The answer was yes – yes they had.
Because much to his utter and total disgust...
He couldn't get the kid out of his head...
Sephiroth leaned weakly back onto his chair and gazed up at the blank ceiling. What did this mean? Could he really have feelings for such an imbecile? Or was he just... lonely?
He's the only person that's showed me this kind of attention in a long time...
Perhaps he could just tease the Turk?
Test himself out? Momentarily cure this loneliness?
"Reno is not a toy, Sephiroth!"
He did not view him as an object... did he?
What did it matter anyway?
Who would really be able to punish him if he did accidentally hurt the Turk's feelings?
Zack?
They both knew who would win in a fight...
Although, he didn't really want to be getting into another argument with him. The Soldier was his friend... his only friend. He needed to apologise soon – not cause another riot!
That settled it.
He was going to find Reno and work out how he felt.
Without crushing the man's feelings.
If that is possible...
"What can I say... without ruining my pride... without giving myself away..."
Eventful chapter!
Ha, poor Nathan – he wanted to join in!
Gawd... Zack is really raring for some action isn't he?
And Cloud...
Poor Reno... again.
Poor Sephiroth, I guess.
